SAW meets Desperate Hours with a dash of Leatherface thrown in. One
way to describe the creepy good flick The Collector. Not for the weak
of heart or stomach, this gross out suspense thriller keeps you on
edge with genuine suspense AND thrills and is very well shot and
acted. Pick The Collector before HE picks you! — Stormy Curry

DATE NIGHT
Empty calories were never so tasty. The perfect DATE NIGHT movie is
also a rather wonderful (in spots) screwball comedy thanks to the
alchemy of Fey and Carrell. If ever two actors were made for each
other, it's these two. A host of side stars, especially James Franco,
is just icing on Steve and Tina's buns. The movie is this side of tame
and this side of pat, but you can't get enough of The Fosters. — Jeff
Schultz
COP OUT
Anyone with fond memories of 80's buddy cop flicks (Armed &
Dangerous, Beverly Hills Cop) will enjoy COP OUT. It follows the
formula right down to Harold Faltermayer's score. Willis and Morgan
seem to have a blast and Sean William Scott steals the movie. Not a
critic movie, this ones for anyone who ever hummed “Axel F” while
quoting clever one liners from Fletch to anyone who would listen. Just
fun. — Stormy Curry
SYNEDOCHE, NY
SYNECDOCHE, NY is one of the most confusing, self-indulgent pieces of
garbage I've ever seen. I think Charlie Kaufman may be the only one
who understands what's going on here (and only because he wrote it).
The actors even look confused. I couldn't make it through the whole
thing. It made my head hurt. Maybe all was explained at the end. But
judging by the rest of this mess, I doubt it. — Alan Yudman
THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS
Baaaaa-d. That's the only way to describe The Men Who Stare at Goats.
Clooney, Bridges, and Spacey walk through this one like lambs to the
slaughter. Only the goats make it through with dignity. Staring at
actual goats would have been more entertaining and less frustrating.

HOT TUB TIME MACHINE
Strip naked & dive into HOT TUB TIME MACHINE. Non-stop laughs. Rob
Corddry is hysterical, but he doesn't take anything from the rest of
the cast. They're all fantastic. Great '80's soundtrack. There's a
message in there about friendship and how to live your life, but who
cares? Just all out fun! — Alan Yudman
